Montel Williams says New Cannabis Line Will Serve ‘Unique’ Needs of Patients

A brand of medical cannabis products recently launched by television personality Montel Williams will be produced through a new partnership with BAS Research Center, a Berkeley, California-based medical cannabis manufacturing and research group.

“Montel had been looking for a licensed producer to manufacture and help formulate a number of his products,” BAS Research chief operating officer Doug Chloupek told Civilized.

Williams, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and has used medical cannabis to help manage his symptoms for 17 years, held a soft launch for his new LenitivLabs brand of medical cannabis products at the recent Marijuana Business Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. The longtime host of The Montel Williams Show has been a vocal medical cannabis advocate for years, having worked to pass legislation in states including New Jersey, New York and Ohio.
